Well, I have an F-2 Savannah that would love to teach your puppy the do's and dont's of interacting with cats. She's quite the wild one.

This F-3 beats up my 10 yr old GSD all the time. Then they cuddle up to sleep.

Right on the nose, Chip!

As gsdsar recommended, put your puppy on a leash at all times she is outside the crate. That way you can control her and the correction is immediate. At 6 months old, you can do a correction by lightly popping the collar with a verbal "No" or "Off".

I have a dog with high prey drive. I live with 2 cats and 2 parrots. It is all about training and structure, and not giving excuses. It is about redirecting that drive, and setting boundaries for dogs.

[would she kill a strange cat outside, yes w/o a doubt if i let her. but i make sure i am in control, not her.]

There other other dog breeds w/ extreme prey drive (i.e. sight hounds) and w/ proper training and management, they can co-exist in a multi-pet household.

Agree Chip! Nip it in the bud. If you don't want the dog on the bed never let him up there the first time.
